Oller (1-3) took the loss Tuesday against Pittsburgh, allowing six runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out two.

After allowing two runs in the first inning, Oller would hold the Pirates off the board over his subsequent three frames. However, the right-hander would give up a four-spot in the fifth, capped by an Andrew McCutchen three-run homer. The 29-year-old Oller has now dropped back-to-back outings, allowing 10 runs in that span (10.1 innings) after giving up just one run over 11.1 innings in his previous two starts. Overall, Oller sports a 5.40 ERA with a 1.39 WHIP and 24:16 K:BB across 26.2 innings with Miami this year. He's currently lined up for a road matchup with the Nationals this weekend in his next outing.

Chapman earned the save in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Marlins despite allowing a run on three hits in the ninth inning. He struck out two.

Chapman got into some trouble in the ninth, allowing the Marlins to cut the lead to 6-4 with three singles. However, he'd manage to escape with the lead still intact, earning his eighth save this season. Chapman's converted back-to-back save chance though he's given up at least one run in three straight appearances, allowing six runs over 2.2 innings in that span. The left-hander sports a 4.18 ERA on the season with a 1.45 WHIP and 91:39 K:BB across 56 innings.

The Dodgers placed Banda on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a left hand fracture.

Banda will be held out until at least Sept. 25 as a result of his injury, though it's possible he misses more than the minimum amount of time considering the fracture is on his throwing hand. Brusdar Graterol (hamstring) was reinstated from the 15-day IL in a corresponding move.

Blalock (1-3) took the loss Tuesday against the Tigers, allowing five runs (four earned) on five hits and five walks over four innings. He struck out four.

Blalock gave up a leadoff homer to Parker Meadows in the first inning before he was tagged for another four runs in the second, with three scoring on a Riley Greene bases-loaded triple. It's the third straight loss for the 23-year-old Blalock -- he's allowed 14 earned runs in just 13 innings in that span and has also issued 11 walks in his last two starts (nine innings). Overall, Blalock sports a 5.87 ERA with a 1.79 WHIP and 20:19 K:BB through his first 29.2 big-league innings. He'll look for a better result in his next outing, currently scheduled for this weekend against the Cubs at home.

The Dodgers reinstated Graterol (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Graterol will return from the injured list a day earlier than originally expected, taking the place of Anthony Banda (hand), who landed on the IL in a corresponding move. The 26-year-old Graterol allowed two earned runs in just one-third of an inning before leaving his season debut with a hamstring strain Aug. 6, so there's a good chance the Dodgers limit him to low-leverage outings until he's able to find his footing in the big leagues.

The Dodgers designated Ramirez for assignment Tuesday.

Just two days after being selected from Triple-A, Ramirez will once again be without a spot on the 40-man as Yoshinobu Yamamoto (triceps/shoulder) returns from the 60-day IL. The 35-year-old allowed three runs (one earned) over two innings during his appearance Monday and carries a 6.08 ERA through 13.1 MLB frames.

Turnbull (lat) will throw a live batting practice session Friday, Destiny Lugardo of Phillies Nation reports.

Turnbull threw an up-and-down bullpen session Monday, clearing the way for him to face hitters for the first time since he was diagnosed with a right lat strain in late June. The Phillies aren't giving up hope that Turnbull could make it back later this month as a reliever, but he can't afford any hiccups.

The Marlins designated de Geus for assignment Tuesday.

The 26-year-old was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville in late August and has now lost his place on the 40-man roster. De Geus has made 11 appearances between the Marlins and Mariners this season and has given up five earned runs with a 6:2 K:BB over nine innings.

The Marlins claimed Petersen off waivers Tuesday.

The 30-year-old was designated for assignment by the Dodgers over the weekend, and he didn't make it through much of the waiver order before being claimed. Petersen posted a 6.43 ERA in 14 innings for the Dodgers this season, though he's been dominant at the Triple-A level with a 1.64 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 44:8 K:BB over 33 frames.

Roupp will start Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

It will be the first major-league start for Roupp, who fired 61 pitches over four scoreless relief innings in his last appearance Thursday versus the Diamondbacks. The righty has split time between the rotation and bullpen this season at Triple-A Sacramento, but he hasn't gone more than four frames in any outing in the majors and minors in 2024; therefore, he'll be relatively limited from a workload perspective.
